ECG machine: a life saving device
An electrocardiogram or an ECG machine is a highly useful life saving medical instrument. It helps medical practitioners diagnose the working of human heart and in case of any abnormalities go for the right treatment so as to prevent any fatal consequences.
An ECG machine consists of a personal data assistant (PDA) and a cable that is divided into several individual wires called leads. Each lead contains electrodes at its tip. The electrodes are placed on a patient's chest to record his/her heart's activity.
The ECG machine then gives a graphical presentation of activity of the heart muscles in form of wavy lines. The results of the ECG machine or ECG readings can be viewed directly on the PDA screen or they can be printed on a special paper.
The ECG machine is capable of storing several ECG readings. Also, it can display four different results at one time for comparison.
ECG machines are available in wide single or multi-channel units. Mostly, ECG machines come with all cables, leads, and other accessories.
